The Congress alleged that the ED action was a "conspiracy to manage the headlines" on a day when Parliament's Budget Session reconvened, saying the government sought to "divert attention" from pressing issues.

In a post on X, Baghel's office alleged a "conspiracy to stop the Congress in Punjab". Last month, Baghel was named the AICC general secretary in charge of Punjab, where Assembly elections are due in early 2027.
